I told child 4 of 5 (the 6 year-old) that yes, he could have a cookie.
His two older siblings began the full-on whine "What? Unfair!"
"How come he gets a cookie?!"
"um, because he's adorable and he's got this cute little lisp and big brown eyes and has burst into tears three times today just because you meanie boys have looked at him wrong or scolded him for being 6... "
NOT what I said.
I DID say, "Because he asked for one".
They continued to complain. To whinge. To declare the unfairness of it all and all I could think was, "You two are totally missing the point, he asked for one".
I finally caved
and pointed it out to them... silly, thick kids.
But it turns out that I'm the thick one.
Apparently that was the last sugar cookie. There's another left on the plate,
but it's Miss Ky's creation.
The one even she won't eat.
Ooops! Time to bake more cookies? :D
ReplyDeleteMy 8yo said he'd eat Miss Ky's creation!
ReplyDeleteI'm thinking I'd eat it. There is a cookie in there, right?
ReplyDeleteI'll bet it was a nice cookie at one time. It's a shame that your flag exploded on it. ;)
ReplyDeleteLOL @ Hilary...I'd eat that bad boy!
ReplyDeleteI'd have done the same thing. They're only that cute and six once, regardless of how many cookies are left.
ReplyDeleteWhat a masterpiece that last cookie is! Looks like maybe the kiddos need to help bake some more.
ReplyDeletei would so eat that cookie.
ReplyDelete(ha ha. my word verification is "messie")
*huge laugh*
ReplyDeleteNow I know the REAL REASON for the BIG FUSS!!!
*huge laugh*
Oh well, I'll eat, Mommy, give me that!
This post is hilarious! get to baking mother....roflmao.
ReplyDeleteI think this calls for another baking session.
ReplyDeletePoor cookie. It didn't ask to be baked.
ReplyDeleteIt is Christmas, so let them eat what they want. I hope that you had a good one!
ReplyDeleteLife really can be unfair, can't it. Loved your little princess in that incredible dress.
ReplyDelete*LOL* It's bad when the one who made it won't eat it. haha But it does have those blasted "silver balls" in it that are likely to crack your teeth if you aren't careful. haha Fond memories from childhood.
ReplyDeleteWhy do they never get that ASK part? (And we'll just ignore the fact that there were no cookies left after that one. Totally not your fault.)
ReplyDeleteKids are like mini-adults, some are simply nicer than others!
ReplyDeleteI'm sure, as #4 out of 5, he's missed out on cookies and other adventures when there were less kids around.
ReplyDeleteTell them to suck it up, maybe next time, one of them will be smart enough to ask for the last cookie.
As far as favoritism, I used to sit on each of my two daugters' beds (they shared a room), and tell the first one I loved her best, but please don't tell her sister. I'd repeat it at the second bed.
The joy of playing mind games with the kids...
Oopsies. ;)
ReplyDeleteAnd by the way, I would TOTALLY eat that cookie. Cuz I'm gross like that.
First come. First serve. That was always my motto. You snooze, you lose was my second motto, lol.
